Book Synopsis Environmental Impacts of Aquaculture by : Kenneth D. Black
Download or read book Environmental Impacts of Aquaculture written by Kenneth D. Black and published by Taylor & Francis US. This book was released on 2001 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The continued expansion of aquaculture – in a wide range of environments and of a growing number of species has lead to increasing demands on aquatic resources. These demands vary with the culture species, the culture method and the environmental and ecological setting. While there are many examples of efforts to mitigate detrimental environmental effects, the environment remains the ultimate constraint on the future sustainable development of this maturing industry. The relationships between the activities of aquaculture and the environment are therefore of economic importance as well as of scientific interest and, for these reasons, a large international research community has developed over the past decade. In this volume, the resultant research is synthesised and critically reviewed, providing a source of reference to the most important recent developments at research and professional level. The authors are internationally recognised authorities who have made significant contributions to their respective research areas. The first part of the volume is organised in terms of the major culture types. This is followed by chapters of general relevance to aquaculture. The volume is designed to complement Biology of Farmed Fish (eds K D Black/A D Pickering), also published in this series. It is directed at fish biologists, shellfish biologists and environmental scientists working in the academic, governmental and industrial sectors.

Book Synopsis A Primer of Ecological Aquaculture by : Dietmar Kültz
Download or read book A Primer of Ecological Aquaculture written by Dietmar Kültz and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-09-06 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aquaculture exemplifies the ongoing global struggle to strike a sustainable balance between the conflicting needs of a rapidly increasing world population, human health, ecosystem health, the welfare of wild and domesticated animals, and the economic principles of globalized economies. On theone hand, aquaculture has great potential for providing us with a healthy and nutritious food supply whilst alleviating pressure on captive fisheries and reducing fisheries-induced habitat destruction, overfishing, genetic modification of wild populations, and wholesale waste of bycatch. On theother hand, aquaculture relies heavily on clean water, an increasingly precious (and dwindling) resource that is subject to intense pressure of being used for many competing objectives.This concise primer introduces students to the basic concepts, opportunities, and challenges of aquaculture with an emphasis on ecological considerations. It provides a critical assessment of current aquaculture practices from a broad, interdisciplinary perspective and from the standpoint of howbest to align the two major (and often conflicting) goals of future aquaculture development: minimizing reliance on ecosystem services whilst maximizing productivity.A Primer of Ecological Aquaculture provides an accessible and authoritative overview for a wide range of undergraduate majors ranging from biology, engineering, and environmental policy to business and management. It will also appeal to a more general academic audience who wish to gain a currentoverview of the field.

Book Synopsis Fisheries and Aquaculture in the Modern World by : Heimo Mikkola
Download or read book Fisheries and Aquaculture in the Modern World written by Heimo Mikkola and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2016-09-28 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has nine chapters on Aquaculture Wetland Ecosystem Services Approach and Climate Change Adaptation, which explain how different aquaculture systems could maximize the benefits that society receives from both aquaculture production and the ecosystem services provided by wetland ecosystems. Sustainable development of aquaculture must take into account the societal value of ecosystem services for an efficient and environmentally sound production of food. Although some issues regarding the potential benefits and implementation of sustainable aquaculture remain, the consideration of food security and minimizing ecosystem impacts suggest that the time has come to take action. If we can efficiently farm the land, why can't we farm more the sea and inland waters?
